Did you catch the (textual) Allen Ginsberg reference near the beginning?
James and I re-watched the DVD for this tonight. Visit the composer's site for a synopsis. We both consider him one of the great geniuses of 20th century music, and think he should be much more famous.

Never noticed before, but he's on the composers' list form the NPR series "American Mavericks". I've picked up works from about a dozen artist from this list and have yet to be disappointed.....C
